## Resource

The Boston Red Sox are grappling with a significant offensive slump, scoring just twenty-two runs in their last twelve games. This struggle has been exacerbated by internal drama, including criticism from NBC analyst Michael Holley about the teams handling of prospect Roman Anthonys hand injury. Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran publicly responded to Holley on social media, but former Red Sox star Mo Vaughn advised Duran to focus more on his own hitting struggles, pointing out his low batting average and OPS. Durans social media response to Holley backfired, leading to backlash and him deleting his post. The teams offensive woes are evident, as they rank twenty-eighth in runs scored overall. However, the pitching staff has been a bright spot, ranking eighth in earned run average. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
